95 Civic coupe B18C gsr build - plans for boost!
Hey Honda-Tech!
Fist I would like to say welcome to my first build thread. Your comments, opinions, thoughts, bumps, and advice are welcome!
Been a member on this board for a while, so I decided to start a build thread of my own
I currently drive a 95 EJ1 but my stock motor started ticking on me 2 months ago. My dad said we'll fix it but after 2 years and 2 Eg's it was finally time for a swap! Coming home from work I redlined first....and at around 5000rpm it just blew. Craked the block! NICE.
My plans....
I found a jdm B18C gsr motor w. tranny, p28 chipped ecu, shafts, dizzy for $1000
I'm keeping the internals stock and running boost to make 290HP.
Pics
My first car, 93 Lx. Got it when I was 16 as a gift from a family friend.
When I was done with it....
My Ej1 when I bought it in 2007.
Now...
When I blew the D16z6.

Update: October 18
Got some parts in yesterday
Does anyone have any experience with the Exedy clutches and how the Stage 2 will feel on the street? I didn't get a lightweight flywheel but I am machining it down to 12lbs.
I'm still waiting for the cam gears to come in and then it goes straight to the engine shop! Can't wait!

If you still need a bracket i may be able to find one. Im in ottawa. That clutch is not bad, i did the same clutch on a eg hatch b18c years ago. You will have to learn how to not slip it so much.

Yeah right rust free lol! When I got the car the quarters were crap so I just did a simple bondo job. After the winter the rust started coming into the trunk.
Rust is just stage one weight reduction =D

Dec 5
Ran into a little bit of problems the other day.
As my friends and I were towing my car to the shop, (we attached a rope to my tow hook and his Sprinter) a cop pulled us over with only 5 minutes left to go. He said this is illegal and we can't continue lol.
Here is the cop closing down the street so we can push the car into a nearby parking lot.
Waiting in the freezing rain for an hour, @ 1am, empty parking lot, a flat bed finally arrived!

Re: 95 Civic coupe B18C gsr build - plans for boost!
Had some time today so I took apart my old motor.
Cause of failure: oil starvation at the crank oil squirter on cylinder 1.
Hole in the oil pan from the crank!
